Title: The Taste of Purgatory
Author: Kitty Malfoy
Rating: Pg-13
Summary: Set after um...the big huge battle with Galaxia. It takes place sort of IN the Galaxy Cauldron, where everyone's starseeds are. It is a Galaxia/Usagi fic including what I believe it's like where your starseeds go; in the Galaxy Cauldron.
Disclaimer: All Sailormoon paraphernalia belongs to Naoko Takeuchi. The plot, though, was dutifully thought of and recorded by my faithful plot bunnies: Fufu, Tofu, Mushu, Kovu, Washu, Princess, Rags, and Patches. (Rags and Patches are twins)
A/N: If you have any suggestions for Usagi pairings email me @ thetasteofstrawberries@hotmail.com or include it in your review.

A small sparkle. A tiny glitter. Another one here...there. The milky whiteness that extended forever was filled with tiny crystals, no bigger than a thumb. Lights of all colors rose inside them pulsing and throbbing to blinding heights. Within the centers of the millions of tiny jewels small bodies began to materialize, drawing in the power from the corona of light and energy around them. Men, women, and children of all shapes, sizes, races, and descents formed into beings of immense purity, light and angelicism. Downy, white feathers layered atop each other forming great wide wings large enough to wrap around and protect their separate charges.
Great sapphires glowed and softened, melting into wide, child-like eyes that blinked in wonder at the beauty and innocence of their whereabouts. Threads of the softest gold, and no larger than the gossamer weavings of a spider's web, were pulled from the white light surrounding the crystal from which her body was pulled. They twisted and wove about her head in blinding and wild patterns as if the hand of the Goddess herself were creating this being for the first time. A knot of hair was bound upon each side of the creature's head and streamed far out behind her, disappearing like ribbons into the foggy mists.
"Usagi."
The word was pulled and lengthened into an eerie, reedy whisper that echoed long after the voice behind it had died. The sound of it was hollow and at the same time, that of ringing bells. It was sound that lacked the harshness of reality and was not held down by any force - left simply to roam free throughout this dimensional plane.
Usagi. The being paused a moment. Her ethereal wings swayed back and forth loosing pearled feathers upon her naked body. Was that her name? She knew of many names...the names of all creatures that had been born within the Cauldron. The names of the ones yet to be created.......they all resided deep within her manifested body. She couldn't discern which name was hers, among the callings of the others. Nothing was certain in the Void. People didn't exist there, their starseeds did. They became one, with no feeling, no conscience, no sense of singularity. All those who resided within it lost themselves...their memories, their past, even their future was washed away in a sea of warm and unending light and safety.
"Usagi."
The voice called again...it called to her. She hovered, hesitantly, above her glittering starseed, where she had materialized, and peered futilely out into the mists. Her wings lifted and extended to their full span. She leapt from her perch atop her crystal and soared high above the plane. Countless numbers of beings and "glitters" passed beneath her, but none held the voice that beckoned her.
The tiny star that she had left behind appeared upon her breast in a spiral of glittery moondust. She swooped and dove with impossible ease and fluidity, never once needing to exert her energy upon it.
"Usagi."
The voice was now behind her. She pivoted and winged left on the turn of a dime. Her wings folded against her back and she rocketed downwards. The mist curled and spiraled away from her as she streamlined downwards towards the origins of the voice that had lured her from her resting-place.
A woman glided out from a shroud of fog, making the being backwing suddenly to avoid crashing into her. The being, the voice had called Usagi, stared in interest at the beautiful woman before her.
Her hair was that akin to flames - burning to a fiery crimson from golden embers. The flames of her hair reached her feet in flickering waves that only fueled the heavenly illusion of flames rippling down her back. Small, oval rubies melted into glittering burgundy orbs that shone with a power that rivaled even the being named Usagi.
When the woman spoke it indeed confirmed to "Usagi" that this was she would had beckoned her here. "Usagi..." The woman pulled Usagi down to the "ground" of the Cauldron, if that's what you could call it for it all blended together in an all encompassing fog.
Usagi's starseed began to glow and then it disappeared into her body. A small orb of light passed from her chest to her feet and reappeared beneath her as her glittering star. The crystal sunk down to the "floor", bringing Usagi with it like an anchor.
The woman was smiling at her as if they had known one another in another time. Usagi's brow furrowed and she tilted her head slightly to the side as she studied the woman. Her mind was strangely empty save for the same fog that floated around her. She blinked blankly as the woman reached out to hug her. Her arms were loose at her sides and the strange woman pulled away in confusion.
Usagi had no recognition of the soul, or the being, floating in front of her. Nothing was familiar her, not even her own voice had a memory within her as she spoke, "You called me Usagi..." She paused thoughtfully. "Is that my name?"
"Don't you remember?" The woman asked or her. The rubied eyes faltered. "Not even me?"
"There is nothing in the Void." Usagi said simply in a deadpan voice. "No memories...........did you have a name?"
"Galaxia. I was called Galaxia." Usagi showed no recognition at the name. The woman, now revealed to Usagi as "Galaxia" blinked rapidly and turned from her.
"Do you have something in your eye?" Usagi asked, innocently. She floated over to Galaxia and turned her face towards her. She lifted a pale white hand to the tanned face and stroked it. Usagi's actions were alien to herself even as they were executed with age-old experience. The seemed to help because Galaxia turned her face towards Usagi's ministrations.
A small noise confused Usagi and she pulled her hand away, afraid that she had done something wrong. She looked up with curious sapphire eyes as a strange moisture made rivers down tan cheeks. She looked down at her own hand and found it wet as well. She lifted it upwards and stared at it with curious confusion. Her strawberry pink lips pursed as she tried to "remember"...it seemed so familiar.
She turned her palm to Galaxia and asked in earnest, "What are these..."
"Tears." She whispered.
"Tears?" She repeated the foreign word slowly in a halting voice. She looked up at Galaxia hesitantly and the woman nodded.
"I know 'tears'..." She said quietly, her voice still stumbling over the new word. The small crystal beneath her that held her in place began to pulsate with milky light. Her entire body began to thrum like the string of a harp and her entire concentration was bent on her cupped palm.
The light within her star seed exploded in a swirling nebula of glittering light and the tears on her hand flashed crimson. Usagi gasped and stumbled backwards. Galaxia called her name, but Usagi was deaf to the dimension around her. All she could hear were the screams.
At the airport........that man...he never made it to the plane...
Mamoru.
I remember now...
At the airport...right in front of my eyes...
Mamoru...I didn't want it to be true...
On the rooftop of a building...was it a school? She saw herself standing there, but she was dressed so strangely....and there were two girls. They were dressed liked her, but wrapped in the powers of Jupiter and Mercury. She watched as cut images flashed through her head. A woman used them as a shield against Usagi's own attack, and their bodies crumbled and were destroyed.
Makoto.
Ami.
Their bodies are dead...
...And their Sailor Crystals, their origins of power, were taken.
Twin crows,...but women too. One of their own...and they died...
Phobos.
Deimos.
The stars of Mars and Venus. Usagi saw her save them from the same woman who had obliterated Phobos and Deimos. A woman in golden armor stepped out of a swirling vortex behind them and stole their Crystals.........they never saw it coming....
Rei.
Minako.
A mysterious far away, is releasing powerful energy...
This past is being disturbed...
...This may change the past...
The flesh may be dead.but Sailor Senshi exist within the Sailor Crystals.
The power of the Sailor Crystals will never die!
A swing-set......in the park....a woman appeared. Usagi heard her own cry for help from other Senshi...Uranus, Neptune, Pluto......dead in a instant. Their starseeds held by the mysterious woman.
Haruka.
Michiru.
Setsuna.
This must be an illusion!! The three must be okay!!
A small child with raven hair...turned to dust with a wave of the mysterious woman's hand.
Hotaru.
Cats...Usagi never remembered having cats. A different woman...one with lavender hair spoke... "If you have a pet and it dies, that makes you sad. Isn't it better to be alone?" ..........their feline bodies splattered against the ground and disappeared.
Luna.
Artemis.
Diana.
Alone? No...being alone is sad. That is why I have made so many friends
Me with a lover? Did I have one...who gave me this ring?
She turned to the woman, "How is it so easy for you...to kill? Everybody...was born to be alive."
"And all with life...were born to die."
Names...Lethe.Mnemosyne...two pure souls wanting an end to the fighting...wanting to be at peace...killed from behind by their own...their screams echoed through the twin desert rivers...
Lethe.
Mnemosyne.
Misguided enemies...too late to save.
Sailors guided by the stars...unconscious...too late to save. Usagi heard herself scream in the flashing scenes of memories. Their star crystals were snatched...as prizes...
Seiya.
Yaten.
Taiki.
Red hair...red eyes...with the scent of lilacs. Stabbed...
Kakyuu.
A single tear rolled down Usagi's ethereal face. She screamed into the fog as painful images demanded to be seen. Shadowed and dark...with angry crimson eyes filled with pain and chaos...
"Chaos." She whispered.
%^%^%^%^%^%
Another memory...
%^%^%^%^%^%
"Do you really think. Your friends will return. And revive their bodies?" The tone was mocking behind the face of Galaxia.
"Because. We always fought together...fought for the future..." Usagi whispered.
"Are you sure...that the future you know is the real future? Do you really think that the future you know will come to pass?"
%^%^%^%^%^%
Usagi screamed again, and her wings wrapped around her trembling and writhing body.
%^%^%^%^%^%
"What happened? Is this the end?"
"This planet. Is going to be destroyed." The darkness and insanity of the being Chaos overtook the golden laughter of Galaxia. Inhuman cackling laughter filled Usagi with dread.
%^%^%^%^%^%
"I power I have...I am the one chosen by God."
%^%^%^%^%^%
Usagi looked up at Galaxia floating in front of her and saw the same crimson eyes that were so angry and evil in her mind. She cowered in fear and fell to her knees. She clasped her throbbing head in her hands.
"What are you doing to me?!" Her bell-like voice echoed in high tones in the realm of dimensional nothingness. Galaxia knelt beside her and pulled the sobbing girl into her arms.
"Tears..." Usagi whispered, brushing long, slender fingers across her wet cheeks. Galaxia nodded into Usagi's hair, and cradled the woman's head in her own. She mirrored Usagi's previous action, and the rhythmic motions of her fingers soothed Usagi and calmed her.
"What us happening to me?" Usagi whispered. "There is nothing in the Void...only crystals rest here..."
"Remember." Galaxia breathed, brushing the bangs from Usagi's eyes.
%^%^%^%^%^%
"Sailor Moon..." Yaten started.
.::But the crystal is a part of me...just as I am part of the crystal. That is why I must do whatever it takes to save my friends...:. Usagi thought to herself.
"...Seiya, Yaten, Taiki. We don't have value only in our crystals. Our bodies are also ourselves. We are us as a whole. When we hold hands, talk, and look at each other...we know then that our powers increase and that we are Sailor Scouts."
%^%^%^%^%^%
Fingers tightened around Galaxia's shoulders. She looked down at the creature in her arms and smiled. This small being had saved the world countless times and died just as many. This was the one who had drove Chaos from her and destroyed it; sending it back into the hearts of everyone.
This was the one she must protect...the one that everyone was destined to protect. This was the one who selflessly sacrificed everything for others, and who wouldn't stop until happiness was found. This was the one who stood up against the world's greatest evil and overcame it. This was the woman who represented everything that was pure and right in the universe.
This...
Was...
She...
"Galaxia-sama...where are the others?" She asked in suddenly with a fear-laced voice. Galaxia chuckled, and Usagi was unsure whether to be relieved or baffled. "They have already become reincarnate by your love and the power of the Sailor Crystals. I was to be reborn on Earth as well, but the Cauldron Guardian requested that I remain in the Cauldron's Void and find you."
"Arigatou, Galaxia-sama." Galaxia helped Usagi to her feet, but held tight to Usagi's hand. "Galaxia?"
Usagi's feet were already beginning to disappear into her star seed, and Galaxia looked down at her own non-existent legs. "Usagi...I needed you to know something..."
Usagi blinked and tilted her head slightly.
"When we are reborn on Earth our memories will be completely erased. You won't remember anything about your life as Sailor Moon, and consequently, you won't know any of the scouts either..."
Usagi's face fell and silent tears slipped from her eyes and rolled down her porcelain cheeks.
"...until our Sailor Crystals decide to reveal them to us." Galaxia finished making Usagi's face brighten.
"And how long will that be?"
"I don't know. The Guardian said it'd be different for all of us..." Galaxia's throat clenched, "Some never will remember..."
Usagi fell back into sadness and Galaxia's heart wrenched along with hers. "I'm so sorry, my little star..." Galaxia whispered, not intending for Usagi to hear her. Unfortunately, the Powers-that-be had other plans. Her voice raised in volume and was magnified in the solitude of the mists, echoing around them.
Already, their bodies up to their chests had been sucked into their glowing crystals that glittered and sparkled as the raw energy filled their small forms. Now, they were fading at an alarming rate and Galaxia acted before it was too late. Her coral colored lips met Usagi's cherry pink ones in a kiss that froze the stare. In that single moment of truth and time their souls were bonded together and melded for all eternity and cosmos to witness.
Such a pair of star-crossed lovers the galaxy had never seen, so perfectly were they formed by the Goddess as if sculpted from the same mold and only now found and realized. The previous Timeline and all its flaw was obliterated and shattered into a million pieces and scattered throughout the heavens, never to be reformed again.
And then it ended as their bodies finally disappeared in a spray of white and golden light. Their Sailor Crystals levitated and whisked away in opposite directions; hurtling through the fog to their new and separate lives on Earth.
The voice of a ghost, was eerie and compelling, yet at the same time said as it echoed through the fogged mists of the Cauldron.
"Goodbye...my little star..."
%^%^%^%^%^%
R & R!
Omg! That was like sooo fun to write! I might just continue it into another fic. Wouldn't that be fun?! Tell me if you think that's a good idea.
Well as far I know this is just about um...the 2nd Usagi/Galaxia fic out there! I think they're a good couple...but not so much as Usagi & Yaten, or Haruka! Love ya all!
